Profile:

Fred Barratt made an immediate impact in first-class cricket, taking eight wickets for Nottinghamshire against the MCC on his debut, and 115 wickets in his first season. The year, however, was 1914, and when first-class cricket resumed 5 years later he had trouble recapturing this form. However in 1923 he passed the 100 wicket mark again, and his batting developed; in 1928 he did the double. He bowled fast, using the physical strength gained in working down the Nottinghamshire coal mines, and as a batsman hit hard, and often. His drives were particularly powerful, and on occasion he scored very rapidly - particularly during his two first-class hundreds, one of which was made in just 85 minutes. Barratt gained Test honours in 1929, but failed to make an impact. By this time Harold Larwood and Bill Voce had joined him to form a notable pace attack at Nottinghamshire, but he toured Australasia in 1930, playing in the Tests against New Zealand. His Test performances were unimpressive, however, and he retired after the 1932 season with a tally of 1224 first class wickets at an impressive 22.71. He was also a fine footballer, playing for Aston Villa and Sheffield Wednesday (DL, 2000).
